Because, Marcus / Kevin only get a day’s rest after competing in the 2021 Indonesia Masters final, Sunday (11/21/2021).
“I think the BWF kind of treated us like robots. We just finished competing on Sunday.” said Kevin Sanjaya.
“Just because we are seeded first have to play on Tuesday. I don’t think it’s fair.” said Kevin Sanjaya added.
“We don’t have any rest time at all. One day is really not enough. Especially after a very intense final. It definitely affects the physical,” said Kevin.
Next, Marcus/Kevin will face off against a non-seeded South Korean representative, Choi SolGyu/Kim WonHo, in the last 16 of the Indonesia Open 2021.
